2007年专四作文真题及范文英文回答：In an increasingly interconnected world, the significance of language transcends mere communication. As a gateway to diverse cultures and perspectives, language empowers individuals to navigate societal landscapes and forge meaningful connections across geographical and linguistic boundaries.The study of foreign languages has been recognized as a powerful catalyst for cognitive development, enhancing critical thinking, problem-solving, and memory recall. By engaging with foreign languages, learners develop an enhanced understanding of their own native language and gain a deeper appreciation for the richness and diversity of human expression.Moreover, the ability to communicate in multiple languages has profound implications for career advancement.In today's competitive global marketplace, professionals who possess foreign language skills are highly sought after by multinational corporations and organizations operating worldwide. Fluency in a non-native language enables individuals to effectively interact with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders from different cultures, bridging communication barriers and fostering productive collaborations.Beyond the practical benefits, foreign language study fosters cultural understanding and empathy. By immersing themselves in different linguistic worlds, learners gain invaluable insights into the customs, values, and perspectives of other societies. This expanded worldview promotes tolerance, respect, and a greater appreciation for the interconnectedness of humanity.In the realm of education, foreign language instruction has been demonstrated to enhance academic performance in non-language subjects. Studies have shown that students who study foreign languages exhibit improved reading comprehension, vocabulary, and overall cognitive abilities.Additionally, foreign language study has been linked to increased cultural awareness, creativity, and open-mindedness.In conclusion, the study of foreign languages is an invaluable investment in one's intellectual, professional, and personal development. By fostering cognitive growth, expanding career opportunities, promoting cultural understanding, and enhancing academic performance, foreign language education empowers individuals to thrive in a multilingual and intercultural world.中文回答：在日益联系紧密的世界中，语言的重要性超越了简单的交流。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.（A）Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo（单独的）space flight were given plenty of work to keep them 45 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth, 46 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine （潜水艇）voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 48 is.When men are 49 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behaviour under stress.45．A．tiredB．asleepC．consciousD．busy46．A．So farB．After allC．HoweverD．Therefore47．A．longB．fastC．dangerousD．direct48．A．fuelB．entertainmentC．adjustmentD．health49．A．shut upB．held upC．brought upD．picked up50．A．pleasingB．annoyingC．commonD．valuable51．A．noisyB．aloneC．personalD．sociable52．A．emphasisB．conflictC．powerD．pressure53．A．handleB．createC．affectD．investigate54．A．becomingB．choosingC．orderingD．promoting（B）One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whoie-such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils-there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum（课程）of the thorough teaching of English57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 58 that the most able pupils are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 Bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those whogot good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modem languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britaio to do the same, and stop 64 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.55．A．Due toB．In addition toC．Instead ofD．In spite of56．A．errorsB．situationsC．systemsD．methods57．A．vocabularyB．cultureC．grammarD．literature58．A．wideB．similarC．separateD．unique59．A．kept outB．turned downC．help backD．left behind60．A．surprisinglyB．individuallyC．equallyD．regular61．A．extraB．traditionalC．basicD．regular62．A．AlthoughB．BecauseC．UntilD．Unless63．A．restoredB．absorbedC．prohibitedD．withdrawn64．A．wastingB．focusingC．exploitingD．sharingIV．Reading ComprehensionDirections：Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-Cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester”for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream –as well as for developing over 75 flavors （味道）.Some people think that it would be casy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No –there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food –science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool”field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 F. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,”he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the colour expected from that flavor?”Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas、try out new flavors、and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy –working at once cool job.65．what is John Harrison’s job?A．An official.B．An ice-cream taster.C．A chemist.D．An ice-cream manufacturer.66．According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to .A．keep a diary of workB．have a degree in related subjectsC．have new ideas every dayD．find out new flavors each day67．What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A．He stirs the ice cream.B．He examines the colour of the ice cream.C．He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D．He lets the ice cream warm up.68．Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A．Tasting with EyesB．Flavors of Ice CreamC．John Harrison’s LifeD．One Cool Job（B）（You may read the questions first.）69．The Fresh Water series at 9 PM .A．explores the lakes, rivers and the creatures in themB．is devoted to the freshwater creatures in the worldC．explains the relationship among inhabitants on the earthD．focuses on the deepest river on the planet70．The phrase “stow away”most probably means“”A．hide secretlyB．talk excitedlyC．operate easilyD．guide successfully71．A mystery story adapted from Agatha Christie’s novel will be shown on .A．BBC1B．BBC2C．ITV1D．Channel 4（C）Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.The bad news: Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the introduction of a “forever stamp,”it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or 3-cent stamps to make up postage diffcrences.Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-elass stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps”will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.The new “forever stamp”is the United States Postal Service’（USPS）answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation （通货膨胀），competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a Spokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp”and the savings from not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps. “It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,”says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamps.Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, he’s interested in the public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps,”Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make himrich-the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,”he says, laughing.The USPS board of governors has yet o accept the Postal Regulatory Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.72．The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp”is .A．to reduce the cost of printing 2-or 3-cent stampsB．to help save the consumers’cost on first-class mailingC．to respond to the complaints about rising postal ratesD．to compete with online bill paying73．By saying “It could be your great-grand children’s stamp”, Mr Saunders means that forever stamps .A．could be collected by one’s great-grandchildrenB．might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s handsC．might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathersD．could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later74．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate reward.B．America will be the first country to issue forever stamps.C．The design of the “forever stamp”remains to be revealed.D．2-or 3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future.75．What can be concluded from the passage?A．With forever stamps, there will be no need to worry about rate changes.B．Postal workers will benefit most form the sales of forever stamps.C．The inflation has become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.D．New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.（D）The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tens made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end ofevents each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr Dunlop Graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around ￡500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards, They can be Personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior （外部的）advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonhury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.76．“Eco-friendly tents”in paragraph 1 refer to tents .A．economically desirableB．favorable to the environmentC．for holding music performancesD．designed for disaster relief77．Mr Dunlop established his business .A．independently with an interest-free loan from MintB．with the approval of the City’s administrationC．in partnership with a finance groupD．with the help of a Japanese architect78．It is implied in the passage that .A．the weather in the UK. Is changeable in summerB．most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC．the cardboard tents produced by Mr Dunlop can be user-tailoredD．cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users79．The passage is mainly concerned with .A．an attempt at developing recyclable tentsB．some efforts at making full use of cardboardsC．an unusual success of a graduation projectD．the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals（E）Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each80．There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to81．Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald —those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s82．Around the would people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of’s on the radio.83．The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming. Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me.84．The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name. New jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I．TranslationDirections:：Translate the following sentences into English using the words given in the brackets.1．他们的新房子离学校很远。

2007年新目标英语作文Absolutely, here's a detailed 800-word essay in English, designed to fulfill your requirements. The essay focuses on the topic of the impact of technology on education, a relevant subject that allows for considerable exploration:---。

The Impact of Technology on Education。

In the modern era, technology has become an integralpart of our daily lives. From smartphones to computers, technology surrounds us, influencing how we communicate, work, and even learn. This rapid technological evolutionhas had a profound impact on education, transforming traditional classrooms and reshaping the way students acquire knowledge. This essay explores how technology has changed education, the benefits it brings, and the challenges it presents.Technological Advancements in Education。

One of the most significant changes technology has brought to education is the digitalization of learning materials. In the past, students relied on textbooks and physical resources to study, but today, much of that information is available online. E-books, online articles, and educational videos have replaced traditional materials, providing students with access to a vast repository of knowledge at their fingertips. This shift has made learning more convenient and flexible, allowing students to study from virtually anywhere.Furthermore, technology has facilitated new forms of learning, such as virtual classrooms and online courses. Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and Khan Academy offer a wide range of courses on various subjects, allowing students to learn at their own pace. This flexibility is especially valuable for those who may not have the means to attend traditional schools or who need to balance work and education.The Benefits of Technology in Education。

[ti:][ar:][al:][by:][00:08.00]College English Test-Band six[00:11.28]Part III Listening Comprehension[00:14.89]Section A[00:16.75]Directions: In this section,[00:19.92]you will hear 8 short conversations[00:22.43]and 2 long conversations.[00:24.73]At the end of each conversation,[00:26.92]one or more questions will be asked about[00:29.32]what was said. Both the conversation and the questions[00:33.15]will be spoken only once.[00:35.34]After each question there will be a pause.[00:38.62]During the pause, you must read the four choices[00:42.23]marked A), B), C) and D), and decide[00:46.71]which is the best answer.[00:48.79]Then mark the corresponding letter on[00:51.52]Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.[00:56.61]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.[01:02.65]11. W: Jim, you are on the net again![01:07.90]When are you going to get off? It's time for the talk show.[01:12.16]M: Just a minute dear! I'm looking at a new jewelry site.[01:16.10]I want to make sure I get the right gift for mom's birthday.[01:20.23]Q: What is the man doing right now?[01:37.33]12. W: I have never seen you[01:41.04]have such confidence before in the exam![01:43.67]M: It's more than confidence![01:45.53]Right now I feel that if I get less than an A,[01:48.81]it will be the fault of the exam itself.[01:51.90]Q: What does the man mean?[02:08.57]13. W: Just look at this newspaper![02:12.95]Nothing but murder, death and war![02:16.34]Do you still believe people are basically good?[02:19.73]M: Of course, I do! But newspapers[02:22.68]hardly ever report stories about peace and generosity.[02:26.73]They are not news![02:28.80]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?[02:45.55]14. M: Tom must be joking when he said[02:50.59]he plans to sell his shop and go to medical school.[02:54.09]W: You are quite right! He's just kidding![02:56.93]He's also told me time and time again[03:00.21]he wished to study for some profession[03:02.83]instead of going into business.[03:05.13]Q: What will Tom probably do according to the conversation?[03:22.51]15. W: I hear your boss has a real good impression of you,[03:29.29]and he is thinking about giving you two more days off each month. [03:33.56]M: I hope not. I'd rather get more work hours ,[03:36.83]so I can get enough bucks to help out my two kids at college. [03:41.32]Q: What does the man truly want?[03:58.33]16. M: I heard you took a trip to Mexico last month.[04:04.01]How did you like it?[04:05.55]W: Oh, I got sick and tired of the hotels[04:08.83]and hotel food! So now I understand the thing:[04:13.31]East, west, home's best![04:17.47]Q: What does the woman mean?[04:32.66]17. W: I'm worried about Anna.[04:37.80]She's really been depressed lately.[04:40.53]All she does is staying in her room all day.[04:43.70]M: That sounds serious![04:45.78]She'd better see a psychiatrist at the counseling center.[04:50.15]Q: What does the man suggest Anna do?[05:06.52]18. M: I could hardly recognize[05:11.66]Sam after he got that new job![05:13.96]He's always in a suit and tie now.[05:16.48]W: Yeah. He was never liked that in college.[05:19.97]Back then, he went around in old T-shirts and jeans.[05:24.46]Q: What do the speakers say about Sam?[05:42.63]Now you will hear the two long conversations.[05:46.45]Conversation One[05:48.53]M: Hi, Ann! Welcome back! How was your trip to the States? [05:54.11]W: Very busy. I had a lot of meetings,[05:58.05]so, of course, I didn't have much time to see New York.[06:02.41]M: What a pity! Actually, I have a trip there myself next week. [06:06.69]W: Do you? Then take my advice, do the well-being[06:11.39]in the air program. It really works.[06:14.45]M: Oh, I read about that in a magazine.[06:16.86]You say it works?[06:18.05]W: Yes, I did the program on the flight to the States,[06:21.45]and when I arrived in New York,[06:24.07]I didn't have any problem, no jet lag at all.[06:28.12]On the way back, I didn't do it, and I felt terrible.[06:33.04]M: You're joking![06:34.13]W: Not at all, it really made a lot of difference.[06:37.85]M: En. So what did you do?[06:40.70]W: Well, I didn't drink any alcohol or coffee,[06:44.63]and I didn't eat any meat or rich food.[06:47.91]I drink a lot of water, and free juice,[06:51.19]and I ate the meals on the well-being menu.[06:54.58]They're lighter. They have fish, vegetables, and noodles, [06:59.39]for example, and I did some of the exercises in the program. [07:03.77]M: Exercises? On a plane?[07:06.39]W: Yes. I didn't do many, of course,[07:09.67]there isn't much space on a plane.[07:12.19]M: How many passengers do the exercises?[07:14.93]W: Not many.[07:16.57]M: Then how much champagne did they drink?[07:19.08]W: A lot! It was more popular than mineral water.[07:22.69]M: So, basically, it's a choice.[07:24.77]Mineral water and exercises, or champagne and jet lag.[07:28.92]W: That's right! It's a difficult choice.[07:33.73]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation[07:38.55]you have just heard.[07:40.41]19. Why did the woman go to New York?[07:59.16]20. What does the woman say about the well-being[08:03.75]in the air program?[08:19.58]21. What did the woman do to follow the well-being menu? [08:39.66]22. What did the woman say about other passengers?[08:59.60]Conversation Two[09:02.30]W: Morning. Can I help you?[09:05.48]M: Well, I' m not really sure.[09:07.77]I' m just looking.[09:08.98]W: I see. Well, there's plenty to look at it again this year. [09:13.24]I'm sure you have to walk miles to see each stand. [09:16.85]M: That's true.[09:17.72]W: Er..., would you like a coffee?[09:19.91]Come and sit down for a minute, no obligation. [09:22.75]M: Well, that's very kind of you, but…[09:25.27]W: Now, please. Is this the first year[09:28.22]you've been to the fair, Mr...[09:30.08]M: Yes, Johnson, James Johnson.[09:32.71]W: My name's Susan Carter.[09:34.67]Are you looking for anything in particular,[09:37.19]or are you just interested in computers in general? [09:40.25]M: Well, actually, I have some specific jobs in mind. [09:43.97]I own a small company, we've grown quite dramatically [09:47.80]over the past 12 months,[09:49.00]and we really need some technological help to [09:51.73]enable us to keep on top of everything.[09:54.25]W: What's your line of business, Mr. Johnson?[09:57.20]M: We're a training consultancy.[09:59.39]W: I see. And what do you need “to keep on top”? [10:03.87]M: The first thing is correspondence.[10:06.28]We have a lot of standard letters and forms.[10:08.90]So I suppose we need some kind of word processor. [10:12.07]W: Right. Well, that's no problem.[10:15.36]But it may be possible for you to get a system[10:18.53]that does a lot of other things[10:20.28]in addition to word processing.[10:22.14]What might suit you is the MR5000.[10:26.73]That's it over there! It's IBM compatible.[10:30.12]M: What about the price?[10:32.62]W: Well, the MR5000 costs 1 050 pounds.[10:38.64]Software comes free with the hardware.[10:41.48]M: Well, I'll think about it. Thank you.[10:45.20]W: Here's my card. Please feel free to contact me. [10:49.79]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation [10:54.60]you have just heard.[10:57.12]23. Where did the conversation take place?[11:16.64]24. What are the speakers talking about?[11:35.72]25. What is the man's line of business?[11:54.49]Section B[11:56.67]Directions: In this section,[12:01.05]you will hear 3 short passages.[12:04.22]At the end of each passage,[12:05.97]you will hear some questions.[12:07.94]Both the passage and the questions[12:10.13]will be spoken only once.[12:12.64]After you hear a question,[12:14.39]you must choose the best answer from the four choices [12:18.00]marked A), B), C) and D).[12:22.37]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 [12:26.75]with a single line through the centre.[12:29.81]Passage One[12:32.22]The new year always brings with the cultural tradition [12:36.92]of new possibilities.[12:38.89]We see it as a chance for renewal.[12:41.73]We begin to dream of new possible selves.[12:45.23]We design our ideal self or an image[12:49.06]that is quite different from what we are now.[12:51.79]For some of us, we roll at dreamy film in our heads[12:56.17]just because it's the beginning of a new year.[12:58.79]But we aren't serious about making changes.[13:02.51]We just make some half-hearted resolution[13:05.35]and it evaporates after a week or two.[13:08.53]The experience makes us feel less successful[13:12.24]and leads us to discount our ability[13:15.08]to change in the future. It's not the changes impossible [13:19.90]but that it won't last unless our resolutions[13:23.29]are supported with plans for implementation.[13:26.57]We have to make our intentions manageable[13:29.52]by detailing the specific steps[13:32.04]that will carry us to our goal.[13:34.33]Say your goal is to lose weight by dieting[13:38.38]and cutting off sweets.[13:40.56]But one night you just have to have a cookie.[13:44.06]And you know there's a bag of your favorites[13:46.91]in the cupboard. You want one, you eat two,[13:51.39]you check the bag and find out[13:53.91]you've just shot 132 calories. You say to yourself,[13:59.16]“What the hell!” and polish off the whole bag.[14:02.11]Then you begin to draw all kinds of[14:05.61]unpleasant conclusions about yourself.[14:09.00]To protect your sense of self,[14:11.07]you begin to discount the goal. You may think--[14:15.24]"Well, dieting wasn't that important to me[14:18.40]and I won't make it anyhow.”[14:20.92]So you abandon the goal and return to your bad habits. [14:26.72]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage[14:31.42]you have just heard.[14:33.93]26. What do people usually wish to do[14:39.29]at the beginning of a new year?[14:54.88]27. How can people turn their new year's resolutions[15:00.56]into reality?[15:15.43]28. Why does the speaker mention[15:20.03]the example of sweets and cookies?[15:37.66]Passage Two[15:39.85]25 years ago, Ray Anderson,[15:43.90]a single parent with a one-year-old son[15:46.19]witnessed a terrible accident[15:48.60]which took place when the driver of a truck[15:51.22]ran a red light and collided with the car of Sandra Drinkins. [15:56.14]The impact of the collision killed Sandra instantly.[15:59.54]But her three-month-old daughter[16:01.83]was left trapped in the burning car.[16:03.91]While others looked on in horror,[16:06.42]Andersen jumped out of his vehicle[16:08.83]and crawled into the car through the shadowed rear window [16:12.22]to try to free the infant. Seconds later,[16:16.49]the car was enclosed in flames.[16:19.66]But to everyone's amazement,[16:22.07]Andersen was able to pull the baby to safety.[16:25.67]While the baby was all right, Andersen[16:28.41]was seriously injured. Two days later he died.[16:33.55]But his heroic act was published widely in the media. [16:37.59]His son was soon adopted by relatives.[16:40.88]The most remarkable part of the story unfolded only last week. [16:46.02]Karen and her boyfriend Michael were looking[16:49.40]through some old boxes[16:50.93]When they came across some old newspaper clippings. [16:54.54]“This is me when I was a new born baby.[16:57.61]I was rescued from a burning car.[16:59.79]But my mother died in the accident,”explained Karen.[17:03.62]Although Michael knew Karen's mother[17:05.81]had died years earlier,[17:07.67]he never fully understood the circumstances[17:10.29]until he skimmed over the newspaper article.[17:13.68]To Karen's surprise,[17:15.87]Michael was absorbed in the details of the accident.[17:18.82]And he began to cry uncontrollably.[17:22.21]Then he revealed that the man that pulled Karen[17:25.82]from the flames was the father he never knew.[17:29.54]The two embraced and shed many tears,[17:32.49]recounting stories told to them about their parents.[17:37.41]Questions29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.[17:43.65]29. What happened twenty-five years ago?[18:01.79]30. What does the speaker say about Michael's father?[18:20.82]31. Why did Michael cry uncontrollably[18:25.84]when he skimmed over the newspaper article?[18:42.66]Passage Three[18:45.71]Americans suffer from an overdose of work.[18:49.87]Regardless of who they are or what they do.[18:53.15]Americans spend more time at work[18:55.34]than that any time since World War II.[18:58.41]In 1950,the US had fewer working hours[19:03.16]than any other industrialized country.[19:06.12]Today, it exceeds every country but Japan[19:09.07]where industrial employees load 2155 hours a year[19:15.41]compared with 1951 in the US[19:19.79]and 1603 in the former West Germany.[19:24.93]Between 1969 and 1989, employed Americans[19:30.29]add an average of 138 hours to their yearly work schedules.[19:35.97]The workweek has remained above 40 hours.[19:39.37]But people are working more weeks each year.[19:43.09]Specifically pay time off holidays, vacations,[19:48.33]sick leave shrank by 50% in the 1980s.[19:53.47]As corporations have experienced stiff competitions[19:57.59]and slow in growth of productivity,[19:59.77]they have pressed employees to work longer.[20:03.60]Cost-cutting lay-offs in the 1980s[20:06.88]reduce the professional and managerial runs,[20:10.16]leaving fewer people to get the job done.[20:13.12]In lower paid occupations[20:16.07]where wages have been reduced,[20:18.26]workers have added hours in overtime[20:20.99]or extra jobs to preserve their living standard.[20:24.38]The government estimates that more than 7 million people hold a second job. [20:29.85]For the first time,[20:32.25]large numbers of people say they want to cut back[20:34.87]on working hours even it means earning less money.[20:38.81]But most employers are unwilling to let them do so.[20:42.96]The government which has stepped back from its traditional role[20:47.01]as a regulator of work time[20:49.52]should take steps to make shorter hours possible.[20:53.96]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.[21:00.53]32. In which country do industrial employees[21:06.32]work the longest hours?[21:22.23]33. How do employed Americans manage to work more hours?[21:42.96]34. Why do corporations press their employees[21:48.43]to work longer hours according to the speaker?[22:05.90]35. What does the speaker[22:09.07]say many Americans prefer to do?[22:25.20]Section C[22:27.72]Directions: In this section,[22:30.67]you will hear a passage three times.[22:33.51]When the passage is read for the first time,[22:36.36]you should listen carefully for its general idea.[22:39.42]When the passage is read for the second time,[22:42.48]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered[22:45.32]from 36 to 43 with the exact words[22:49.04]you have just heard. For blanks numbered[22:52.43]from 44 to 46 you are required[22:55.38]to fill in the missing information.[22:58.23]For these blanks, you can either use the exact words [23:01.94]you have just heard or write down the main points[23:05.01]in your own words. Finally, when the passage[23:08.83]is read for the third time, you should check[23:11.56]what you have written.[23:13.81]Now listen to the passage.[23:16.87]Nursing, as a typically female profession,[23:21.14]must deal constantly with the false impression[23:23.98]that nurses are there to wait on the physician.[23:27.48]As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. [23:32.74]We do not have any legal[23:34.26]or moral obligation to any physician.[23:37.76]We provide health teaching, assess physical[23:41.26]as well as emotional problems,[23:43.88]coordinate patient-related services,[23:46.29]and make all of our nursing decisions based upon[23:49.13]what is best or suitable for the patient.[23:52.41]If, in any circumstance,[23:54.93]we feel that a physician's order[23:56.90]is inappropriate or unsafe,[23:59.96]we have a legal responsibility to question[24:02.59]that order or refuse to carry it out.[24:06.31]Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. [24:11.01]All nurses are aware of that before they enter the profession. [24:15.16]The emotional and physical stress, however,[24:18.00]that occurs due to odd working hours[24:20.41]is a prime reason for a lot of the career dissatisfaction. [24:25.33]It is sometimes required that we work overtime,[24:28.94]and that we change shifts four or five times a month. [24:33.42]That disturbs our personal lives,[24:36.16]disrupts our sleeping and eating habits,[24:39.01]and isolates us from everything[24:41.52]except job-related friends and activities.[24:45.13]The quality of nursing care[24:46.99]is being affected dramatically by these situations.[24:50.82]Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates,[24:54.53]as experienced nurses[24:56.72]finally give up trying to change the system.[25:00.55]Consumers of medically related services[25:03.50]have evidently not been affected enough yet[25:06.78]to demand changes in our medical system.[25:10.28]But if trends continue as predicted,[25:13.67]they will find that most critical hospital care[25:16.85]will be provided by new, inexperienced,[25:21.00]and sometimes inadequately trained nurses.[25:26.30]Now the passage will be read again.[25:29.03]Nursing, as a typically female profession,[25:33.40]must deal constantly with the false impression[25:36.36]that nurses are there to wait on the physician.[25:40.08]As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. [25:45.32]We do not have any legal[25:46.97]or moral obligation to any physician.[25:50.25]We provide health teaching, assess physical[25:54.07]as well as emotional problems,[25:56.38]coordinate patient-related services,[25:59.22]and make all of our nursing decisions based upon[26:02.39]what is best or suitable for the patient.[26:05.56]If, in any circumstance,[26:08.40]we feel that a physician's order[26:10.04]is inappropriate or unsafe,[26:12.89]we have a legal responsibility to question[26:15.73]that order or refuse to carry it out.[26:19.23]Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. [26:24.92]All nurses are aware of that before they enter the profession. [26:29.73]The emotional and physical stress, however,[26:32.68]that occurs due to odd working hours[26:35.09]is a prime reason for a lot of the career dissatisfaction. [26:40.11]It is sometimes required that we work overtime,[26:44.27]and that we change shifts four or five times a month. [27:52.59]That disturbs our personal lives,[27:55.43]disrupts our sleeping and eating habits,[27:57.94]and isolates us from everything[28:00.13]except job-related friends and activities.[28:04.02]The quality of nursing care[28:06.53]is being affected dramatically by these situations.[28:10.65]Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates,[28:14.58]as experienced nurses[28:16.77]finally give up trying to change the system.[29:35.84]Consumers of medically related services[29:38.36]have evidently not been affected enough yet[29:41.03]to demand changes in our medical system.[29:44.09]But if trends continue as predicted,[29:47.04]they will find that most critical hospital care[29:50.10]will be provided by new, inexperienced,[29:53.49]and sometimes inadequately trained nurses.[31:26.61]Now the passage will be read for the third time.[31:31.75]Nursing, as a typically female profession,[31:35.80]must deal constantly with the false impression[31:38.42]that nurses are there to wait on the physician.[31:42.03]As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. [31:47.61]We do not have any legal[31:48.93]or moral obligation to any physician.[31:52.53]We provide health teaching, assess physical[31:56.14]as well as emotional problems,[31:58.77]coordinate patient-related services,[32:01.06]and make all of our nursing decisions based upon[32:03.80]what is best or suitable for the patient.[32:07.08]If, in any circumstance,[32:09.59]we feel that a physician's order[32:11.56]is inappropriate or unsafe,[32:14.84]we have a legal responsibility to question[32:17.36]that order or refuse to carry it out.[32:21.08]Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. [32:25.89]All nurses are aware of that before they enter the profession. [32:29.93]The emotional and physical stress, however,[32:32.67]that occurs due to odd working hours[32:35.40]is a prime reason for a lot of the career dissatisfaction. [32:40.21]It is sometimes required that we work overtime,[32:43.83]and that we change shifts four or five times a month. [32:48.31]That disturbs our personal lives,[32:51.15]disrupts our sleeping and eating habits,[32:54.10]and isolates us from everything[32:56.18]except job-related friends and activities.[33:00.12]The quality of nursing care[33:02.09]is being affected dramatically by these situations.[33:06.02]Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates, [33:09.85]as experienced nurses[33:12.04]finally give up trying to change the system. [33:15.64]Consumers of medically related services [33:18.71]have evidently not been affected enough yet [33:22.10]to demand changes in our medical system. [33:25.27]But if trends continue as predicted,[33:28.99]they will find that most critical hospital care [33:32.05]will be provided by new, inexperienced,[33:36.28]and sometimes inadequately trained nurses. [33:42.14]This is the end of listening comprehension.。
